I'm a sucker for any type of paranormal investigation show. Give me anything with shaky hand-cams, over-the-top reactions, and the smallest possibility of maybe seeing a spec of something go by a night-vision camera and I will be all over it faster than you can blink. It started with Ghost Hunters at a very young age, probably close to ten years ago at this point. Now it's a multi-night, weekly tradition for me to get as many episodes of Ghost Adventures in per a seven day span as I can. Give me your Ghost Adventures/Labs/Asylums/Hunters - give me your parody series like Ghost Provokers and your retellings of the Warren's most notable cases. I don't care how many lame reenactments, faked evidence, or over-the-top jump-scares they throw at me - I'll watch it. So, obviously, it didn't take much more than a small, still-standing advertisement in the corner of a web-page to take notice of a very odd and unexpected little gem called Kindred Spirits. I was instantly intrigued, especially since TLC is the last television station I would ever expect to throw a paranormal show at me, what with being the cable queen of trashy 'everyday life' content that they historically were known to be. So naturally I sat down and loaded up the series premier and was pleasantly surprised at what I discovered. Three episodes later and it's become a much loved part of my weekly routine.

![]() (SPOILER ALERT): There's something to be said about a show that has the ability to bring together millions upon millions of individuals from all races, genders, ages, languages, beliefs, and world-views every Sunday night during the fall season. Few shows have had this massive of a global impact the way that The Walking Dead has since it's premier back in 2010 - we know this rag-tag bunch of survivors better than we know ourselves at this point, they're family. This fact didn't make tonight any easier. It's not like we didn't see it coming, we all had hints and clues and months to pour over the footage to try and brace ourselves, and the millions tuning in this evening just knew that this was going to be a rough season premier. You can pretty much tell it's going to be horribly painful when Chad Hardwick stands amongst the fans for Talking Dead recap looking as though someone just killed his dog - his usually happy expression wiped away. But no matter how prepared we thought we were, none of us could brace ourselves emotionally and physically enough to withstand watching Negan take a barbed-wire baseball bat to the heads of two members of Rick's crew. My word. It's nightmare inducing. This was a roller coaster of an episode, and like the season tag-line has said - we're just getting started. |
